Benjamin Drue Reus (born 16 December 1998) is a Danish professional darts player who competes in Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) events. Nicknamed "the Flying Star", Reus won a PDC Tour Card in 2024, holding it until 2026.
Career Originally from Funen, Reus has played darts since 2014, and played darts at a regional level for Dartklubben Funen in Sønderborg. His status as the Danish number one darts player won him a place in the Nordic Darts Masters in 2022, but he was whitewashed in the first round 6–0 by Dimitri Van den Bergh. He qualified for it again in 2023, but was again whitewashed in the first round 6–0 by Gerwyn Price.
Reus made his World Cup of Darts debut at the 2023 edition, representing Denmark alongside Vladimir Andersen. In a surprise victory over tenth seed Austria, Drue Reus averaged 114.7, one of the highest averages in the tournament's history. In 2024, Reus secured his tour card at Q-School, becoming the second Dane to win one after Andersen in 2022. He signed to Dunvegan Enterprises management agency and with Unicorn Darts later that year.
At the 2024 UK Open, he became the first Danish player to win a match in the competition's history, defeating Bradley Roes 6–4. Wins over Tom Lonsdale, Callan Rydz and José de Sousa took him on a surprise run to the fifth round, where he was defeated by reigning world champion Luke Humphries. This was the first time a Danish player had ever reached the last 32 in a major tournament.
Personal life Outside of darts, Reus studied at UCL University College in Odense.
